Those white butterflies flapping merrily around your vegetable garden may look lovely and whimsical but they are the bane of most gardeners. Once their eggs hatch into plump green caterpillars your crops leaves will slowly but surely develop ever increasing holes. It’s not impossible to beat this plant predator but it does require planning and forward thinking to save yourself from an infestation where you have more holes in your vegetables than leaves.
